I had opened up my music, film and photograph archives and uploading them. I’ve found several computers that contain hundreds of hours of media. I know someone can use it once I am dead and gone. I am finishing up my book and it will be uploaded soon.

It is amazing to discover this world of music, other audios and films. So many flavours, such a big lot of live concerts. Luckily we now have a good internet connection. Thus the only limit to my downloadding activities is the size of my system’s hdd.

I am looking for recordings made at the KOIL Radio Station in Council Bluffs, Iowa that featured my mother and her sister and brother and their parents in about 1924 or 25. Mother was about 10 when they were on the radio, so the years might not be exact. Could be a year or so later as well. They were called the “Shoemaker Family Band” and were on one evening a week. I remember Mother telling me that they got mail from overseas as well as from the U.S. from citizen band and ham radio operators. I have NO copies of ANY of the episodes and I am searching for anyone who might have those recordings! Can you help me with this? I even have pictures of The Shoemaker Family Band. Kathryn Johnson
